Stolen from Ken Leatherman, one of the best jokes I've seen in a while...

Ken Leatherman emailed this joke to me and it's a dandy, so I thought I'd post it here before he does.

Besides, he wouldn't have cleaned up all the ugly formatting for you like I did. Ready?

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "Surely I can't look that old."

Well, you'll love this one:

My name is Alice , and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma on the wall, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago.

Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.

This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.

"Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a Mustang," he gleamed with pride.

"When did you graduate?" I asked.

He answered, "in 1975. Why do you ask?"

"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then that ugly,

Old,

Bald,

Wrinkled faced,

Fat-assed,

Gray-haired,

Decrepit,

S-o-b asked...

"What did you teach?"
Ah ha ha ha...

    Odd how the joke and Daniel's video refer to the Class of '75.

    In 2007, I worked at a place that held a Class of '67 High School
    reunion. Some I would have guessed that age. Some looked ten years
    older, and some looked ten years younger. It was hard to believe
    they all should have been about the same age.

    "The older I is, the older old is."

      I like the quote. Consider it mine. Bwahaha!

      I graduate in 1973 ... some of my ex-classmates look like they graduated in 1873!

    I graduated in 72, so of course, I look much, much older than you, Dennis.

    I look extremely young ....some days. I look extremely old....some days. On my bad days I just tell people I'm 7 or 8 years older than I am so they always tell me "Wow, you look TERRIFIC" instead of mumbling "good god, what happened?"

      I've always used "the older I get, the older old gets".

      And for you 20 somethings - it really is true!

    I have a co-worker who is about 4 years older than me.
    (A customer seriously asked if she's my mom. I think I look my 53,
    but upon reflection, I don't know if they thought she's 60 something
    or 70 something.)

    Anyway, discussions of our age with her are the same as someone
    scratching a chalk board. (Most discussions with her are like that. lol)
    In a nut shell, she thinks being 50 something is really old and over
    the hill. I do not, nor do I physically feel it. (Thank my lucky stars.)

    PS -I could not quickly find a tribute to either version of the quote, so I
    guess it's all yours Dennis. I thought maybe Durante or Mae West.

      Darn, it's more fun if I get to steal it.

      Sal, it not for the gray hairs my wife gave me I would pass for much younger. The last time I was carded for a beer purchase I was in my 30's.

      Well, I did get carded once when I was 40, but the restaurant had just been busted for serving a minor so they were carding everyone. I didn't mind, but one guy who was obviously at least in his 60s was not all that amused.

    All I know is I look and feel better than I did the decade before this one. Because I have been trying harder and for longer.

    All vanity and ego aside, it still gives me a thrill when someone old enough to be my grandchild flirts with me and that still happens.

    A little trick - if you use the Visa side of your debit card in a store, they will ask for your ID. You can pretend it is because you do not look old enough to buy cigs or booze. You don't have to tell the guy you love him because he probably won't understand.

    Seriously though, getting older has it's good points to be sure. For one thing I am so much more 'over it' - whatever it is, I am too tired to fight...
